Fresh! The Gem Vault blog is reborn

Let me give you the warmest welcome to the brand new Gem Vault blog!  We at Tip Top Gem are thrilled to have a chance to start anew with fresh ideas, a new approach, and even more energy than the last blog added to the colored stone world.  I am extremely happy to have you back here at The Gem Vault and I promise that you won’t get bored here.  We have a lot of ideas and will bring you fresh, exciting content on colored stones.

The survey just went out so if you are on my newsletter you are in good shape and will have some input into how the company moves forward from this point.  If you are not yet on my list, feel free to sign up via the form.  All you have to do is look over to your right and you will see “Newsletter Sign-up” which takes you to a very simple form. You can sign up in ten seconds- really!  I publish this newsletter every month for collector and dealer alike.  There is no other monthly publication like it in terms of content, insider information, and a common-sense view of the industry and the hobby of gemstones.

If you returned the recent survey and gave your telephone number and requested a call-back time you can be sure that I will give you a call.  It may take a little time as the response was fabulous, but I will call and ask you about the issues and stones that are on your mind.  This will guide me in my blog posts, my show inventory for Tucson, and my newsletter content.  I am confident that communicating directly with the clients who want to provide input is the most efficient way to hand-craft the business.

If you are new here, you may not be aware that I am extremely receptive to new ideas, criticisms, and to any client or potential client who wants to contact me for information or service.  It could be a very long time before Tip Top Gem is so big that I can’t keep in touch with the core people who give direction to our efforts.  Likely that day will never come.  You will notice a “contact me” form on this page that is a very direct line to my email inbox.  And if you would rather, just dial toll-free 800-607-1425.  We recently had some additional capacity added to the line as well as rerouting because a number of customers got busy signals when the line was available, and the sound quality was not what it should have been.  Please bear in mind that it is still an international phone line, but if you want to talk just pick up the phone and dial! The quality is much improved now.

I can’t say thank you enough.  Thank you for being here at the new blog, and for taking time to contact me or do the survey or for bidding on the eBay auctions.  I am very grateful to be doing something that I love to do, and when you support Tip Top Gem you are helping me to stick with what I love more than anything.  I appreciate you.

Take good care,
